Three Days Of Fun

Here are a few pictures from the last few days. They were sort of hectic, but we had a pretty good weekend despite the fact that we had a lot going on. There was a birthday party to attend, grocery shopping to be done and I also had to retrieve my camera. I didn't get as many pictures at the party as I would have liked, but I did manage to get a few.

The girls had a great time and Autumn is such a cutie. We enjoyed be able to celebrate her birthday with her.

 

 There were snacks and sandwich before having the cake and ice cream.

I totally forgot to get a shot of my plate of snacks, but I did get a photo of my cake and ice cream.

The next few shots are of some of the food I had over the last few days.

My toasted biscuit with butter & honey.

My Smart Ground flat breat pizza.

I even had a root beer. I normally just drink water, tea or coffee, but occasionally I have a soft drink. The root beer was really fizzy, so I drank part of it on Sunday & had the rest yesterday.

Cream cheese & vegetable crackers.

Dinner at Dana & Jerry's after picking up my camera.

The girls & I painted with water colors yesterday. Lexi got the idea for a hand puppet after watching Jimmy Neutron. Mary had to have one too.

Mary had fun just playing in the high chair, buckling & unbuckling, painting, eating, putting hair barrettes in her hair, and posing for the camera.

We had 3 days of fun and now I need a nap, lol. I went to bed early last night and 9 hours later was rudely awakened by an unwelcome alarm. I'd love to just sleep until I wake up once, just to see how long that would be. It took a bit to get this together. Trying to fit 3 days into one post is very difficult for an indecisive person. How was your weekend? Could you fit it all into one post, lol? Have a great day!!!

Birthday Party For DH

Today we celebrated DH's birthday at Mom's. I have quite a few photos for the day, so I will try to just give a short description. We had a lovely day and lots of fun with the grand babies.

Same breakfast as yesterday, slightly more caffeine.

The birthday boy with a couple of his presents (sunglasses and yes, that is a ballerina Barbie, which Lexi quickly confiscated).

The Menu

Pepperoni Pizza

Wisconsin 6 Cheese

Pacific Veggie

Bake Pasta???

Parmesan Bread Bites

Salad with fresh veggies

I had salad and ranch dressing with a slice of the Pacific veggie, actually 2 slices, I went back for a seconds.

Mom got a chocolate peanut butter cake for the candle blowing event.

DH had lots of help with the candles.

....and the cake. I got a few shots of the kids enjoying dessert.

Lexi had a private redo of the candle blowing, her favorite part.

Here is the cake that I made. In DH's favorite form, a strawberry dump cake, which is layers of strawberry jello, fresh strawberries, vanilla pudding, cool whip and, of course, yellow cake.

It's not the most beautiful thing, but it sure is tasty. I had a little of it myself and a bite of the chocolate peanut butter cake, just to taste. It was pretty good also.

I was so full after the pizza and dessert. I didn't think I'd be interested in dinner, but I did eat a bowl of canned chili beans with some barbecued potato chips later.

Yummy!!!

I also ate a couple of handfuls of raisins, which I really didn't need. That's it's for the day. It was nice, but I'm all partied out and ready for bed. Have a great night/day!!!

Birthday Pizza Party

For breakfast yesterday, I made 3 minute oatmeal cookies. I put cranberries, dates, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds in them, plus a tsp of maple syrup.

I had one of the cookies and saved the other for late. You can see the pumpkin seeds in this one.

I sort of missed the chance for lunch. We were going to Mom's for pizza around 3pm to celebrate Mom's birthday, early for dinner, late for lunch. I had half a gala apple to tide me over.

Luckily they had a fresh veggie tray to munch on until the pizza got there. I ate a little of each.

Mom had also fixed some macaroni salad.

There were 5 pizzas, 3 with meat, 2 without. They got buffalo chicken pizza....

....deluxe or supreme pizza

.....pepperoni pizza

....cheese pizza

and the Pacific Veggie pizza.

I had coffee with my pizza. I've had a headache for 4 days. I was hoping that would the coffee would help, it was half caf. I had a slice of the pacific veggie and half of a slice of the cheese. I haven't had just plain cheese in a while. It was pretty good.

For dessert there was chocolate birthday cake with chocolate icing. I was hoping it was chocolate. I was in the mood for chocolate.

There was also carrot cake. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, of course, I like lots of cakes.

There was birthday cake ice cream to go with the cakes.

I had a slice of each cake with a scoop of ice cream and a cup of coffee with my cake.

I over indulged, but the cakes were good.

I just had a few seedless grapes in a bowl when I got home. They were good. I haven't had grapes in a while.

I fooled around on the internet, checking email, etc., then I did my photos for the blog. I was too tired for reading. I guess I will have to try to get some reading done today, since I can't seem to get any done at night lately. Well, I off. Hopefully today will be productive. Have a great day!!!
